Only one of 12 built, I took a ride in the massive 1939 Futurliner back in 2021, which was a good time. Few vehicles turn heads like General Motors's Futurliner. Built in the 1930s, the fleet of a dozen streamliners showcased American industrial might and GM's technological prowess. They toured across North America, taking a break for WWII, with the fleet of buses parked for good after 1956. From there, each Futurliner had its own journey to eventual restoration, dilapidation, or obscurity.

Say hello to Figure 02. It's a humanoid robot developed by a California-based company called Figure. BMW recently took it for a test drive at the Spartanburg assembly plant, where it performed some subassembly work on components for cars. The automaker is evaluating the robot for potential use in manufacturing....

It is extremely difficult to not be charmed by the Ineos Grenadier’s old-school persona at a glance. That’s deeply intentional; When Ineos chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe couldn’t buy the rights to produce the original Defender after Land Rover discontinued the model in 2016, he simply decided to replace it. That explains the Landie-like two-box styling, squared-off wheel arches, and a full-time four-wheel-drive system. It looks like a 1990s Defender 110 with a dash of Cyberpunk 2077 thrown in, and it turns heads.

The Ineos Grenadier Is Too Old-School for Its Own Good

It's been two and a half years since Toyota took the Tokyo Auto Salon by storm with its hugely promising GR GT3 Concept. As a refresher, that car will evolve into a successor to the Lexus RC F GT3 scheduled to go racing in 2026. A new spy video shows what appears to be its street-legal counterpart, which will use a Lexus badge instead.

A rear-wheel drive sedan isn't abnormal, but one with Audi's four rings on the front? That is very, very unusual. But believe it or not, the base Audi A6 E-Tron—the new electric version of Audi's longstanding mid-size sedan—drives just its rear wheels. Audi is, of course, a brand...

Neglecting to change your car's oil is about the worst thing you can do for your engine. Motor oil is the lifeblood of your car, cleaning out debris and particulates as it circulates through all the pipes and crevices of your engine. So having fresh oil is vital. Go tens of thousands of miles without changing it, and really bad stuff can happen.

Teardown Reveals How Bad Things Get When You Don't Change Your Oil

One by one, automakers are backtracking on the ambitious EV goals they set a few years ago. Audi is the latest to acknowledge that sales of cars with combustion engines might continue beyond the previously scheduled cutoff date. In 2021, the company with the Four Rings promised to transition to electric-only vehicles by 2033, but it is now considering keeping ICE vehicles in its lineup for a longer period.

Lamborghini will finally show the Huracan's successor on August 16 during the Monterey Car Week. The Italian supercar maker dropped a teaser video focusing on the supercar's high-revving engine to ease the wait. Unlike its predecessors featured in the clip, the Gallardo and Huracan, the new model won't have a naturally aspirated V-10. Nevertheless, the twin-turbo V-8 will be properly loud.

Stellantis is offering a voluntary buyout package to its salaried US-based workforce, which currently totals approximately 11,000 people.

If you haven’t read the introduction post already, I’m building a hybrid sports car in my garage. Yes, an entire sports car, top to bottom. It’s intended to be "open-source" when complete, with every part fabricated off-site. That means every component needs a specification, the whole build planned out before any custom hardware is ordered.

If your only argument against the 2025 Ram 1500 is it doesn’t have a Hemi, you’re missing out. I crave a V-8 burble as much as anyone, but after a week with the latest half-ton Ram and its high-output 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six, I don’t miss the Hemi even a teeny bit. I absolutely love this truck.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Vintage Ferrari race cars are rare enough, and successful ones even more so. That's why it’s so heartbreaking to see one go up in flames. Video and photos posted to social media show a 1971 Ferrari 512M, supposedly driven by Sam Posey to a third-place finish at that year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, engulfed in flames as it circled Watkins Glen International raceway last month.
